SECTION 3. Principle of Operation
A Simco-Ion static eliminator consists of ionizing electrodes, high voltage cable and a
Power unit. The ionizing electrodes are sharpened needle tips at high voltage, positioned
near ground electrode.
Simco-Ion static eliminator operates as follows:
1) When the power switch is turned on, it produces high voltage.
2) Because of intense electric field at the emitter needle tips, corona discharge is initiated.
Air around the needles is ionized and positive and negative ions are produced.
3) As the unlike charges attract, the charged object that needs to be neutralized attracts
ions of opposite polarity until it is neutralized.
Fig.1 shows how an object, charged statically to 20 50 kV can be neutralized, typically,
～
down to 0.1 to 0.2 kV.
